Experts Warn of Growing Parrot Crisis in Canada

Parrots and similar birds are awesome, and crazy intelligent. Seriously, watch this lil guy straight-up browsing YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D_b8kWYvGkI , or this one, so awesome haha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cZSNhJcKFf4 , probably my favorite video ever of a bird

Absolutely gorgeous and extremely smart creatures. They generally bond with one care giver and when that person dies it really is a traumatic event for the bird.

Birds that are traumatized pick out their feathers and look terrible. You can tell from the videos of their birds that they are well looked after.

This organization (and those like it) are fantastic!

In the northeastern towns of la county there entire flocks of wild parrots flying around, that are escaped or freed pet parrots or descendants from such pet parrots.

I guess parrots would not survive in the wild in canada, but if you have parrot you can no longer care for, maybe you could consider releasing it in the la foothills. He will have friends there.

Maybe is the key word here. I am not a parrot expert.

Cue the Monty Python jokes

No offense, but lately I've had somewhat more pressing things to worry about...
